Hello! Next chap. Enjoy!
...
Rito walked along the road surrounded by forest next to Mikan and himself. Mikan stood next to her game self, talking to her about different things including what was in the real world.
Rito and Game Rito (G-Rito) were blushing slightly as Lala grabbed onto the arms of both of them. "Yay! Two Rito's!" She pulled them both in closer
"T-this is embarrassing." G-Rito said
"This happens every day to and from school." Rito said with the blush increasing. "What happens when you finish a quest?" Rito asked, attempting a normal conversation
"Huh?" G-Rito questioned
"I mean a mission or something like that." Rito said
"Oh well we finish it then get another. It becomes boring." G-Mikan said, butting into the conversation before talking to Mikan again.
Then they heard a groaning from inside the woods. The game people turned and seemed to prepare for a fight while Lala ran over to the noise and the non-game humans looked in the direction of the noise. An ogre stomped out of the area and growled at them. To Rito it seemed so real that he thought he had fallen unconscious and had a dream about ogres. Wait, how would that seem real?
G-Rito looked at G-Mikan who nodded. G-Rito ran at the ogre and drew a sword from a sheath on his back. (I forgot the looks. G-Rito is wearing some cloth like things with metal patched in and a sword on his back while G-Mikan looks like trouble quest Mikan.) G-Rito slashed at the beast but the sword only left a cut due to the monsters thick skin. G-Mikan said a few words and salt water sprayed out of her palm and into the ogre's cut making it howl in pain. While it was distracted G-Rito stabbed it in the eye and pushed further, eventually hitting something apparently vital, killing the beast and making it vanish into a gathering of crystals which then vanished
The three game players watched, one in awe, one in surprise and one in joy but sadness at the same time because something died. Rito, Mikan and Lala in that order.
"Looks like they are slightly different to us." Mikan said. The G-gang walked back over and looked at them.
"What's so surprising?" G-Rito asked
"That was cool! But what happened to it?" Lala asked
"Well that's how these things die." G-Mikan said
"Okay! Come on let's go on!" Lala led cheerfully which lightened the spirits of the group, especially the two Mikans who giggled slightly when Lala hugged them.
"Does she do this all the time?" G-Mikan asked
"Yes and sometimes she sneaks into his bed naked." Mikan responded.
G-Mikan looked at the other Mikan. "Why not stop her?" she asked confused
"She is too innocent to do anything but give Rito a blood nose." Mikan said "Her younger sister though…" the young girl growled.
G-Mikan stopped talking for a bit then spoke up. "Are you jealous?" she asked
Mikan blushed and looked at… herself? "W-why would I be?" she asked, embarrassed at the fact that someone would think that she loved her brother.
"I can read people." G-Mikan said "The way you spoke about that younger sister of hers," she gestured to Lala "even for a second sounded like jealousy as well as annoyance."
Mikan tried to stop her blush "That seems to be another thing we have in common." She said
"So what else is there about your 'world' that I should know?" G-Mikan said, feeling the nervousness of her other self about the topic
"You should learn about machines." Mikan said
"Like catapults?" G-Mikan asked
"No they use electricity and things like that to make objects move in different ways." Mikan heard G-Mikan make a confused noise like 'huh?' "We have things called cars that use something called petrol that it burns and makes it move."
G-Mikan nodded in understanding "That sounds awesome." She said
"It is but I can't drive since my age is under the restriction." Mikan said
"Why is there a limit?" then G-Mikan shook her head "Sorry, dumb question, because they move at speeds that could decimate something if it hit so a child would have worse control over it."
"Exactly." Mikan said
"What else?" G-Mikan asked, interested.
"Well… some places have weapons that use gun powder but Japan only uses them in wars." Mikan said then noticed that she said 'Japan'.
"What is a Japan?" G-Mikan asked
"Oh, the country I live in." Mikan explained then practically foresaw the next question. "The weapons are called guns and they shoot small metal projectiles at unseeable speeds."
G-Mikan nodded "I wonder what those three are doing." She said looking at the others
Lala was pulling something out of her pocket that looked somewhat like a small ray gun. She pointed it at G-Rito who stepped back nervously and Rito just noticed what it was as the girl used it. A beam shot forth and zapped the boy changing him into her. "Now Rito can talk to Riko-chan!" she cheered giddily.
G-Riko blinked for a moment then blushed "W-What happened?!" she yelled
Rito just shook his head. "Lala!" He said then looked at Riko. He had to admit, she looked pretty nice… he blushed then looked away. No, no, no. he had already fallen in love with two space princesses and one space assassin, no way was he going to fall for himself. That would just be weird and creepy.
Riko meanwhile was feeling around her body, noticing that she did indeed have one of a girl. She looked at Rito and her mind began to wander. 'He probably had to do this as well…' she thought. 'On multiple occasions but he's blushing…' she blushed 'He probably thinks I look cute! T-that would be too weird for me to handle!' she started to think like a girl as well and blushed a little when she thought about how Rito looked.
"It looks like Rito is a girl." G-Mikan said
"We call our Rito Riko when he's like that." Mikan noted.
"Good idea." The two caught up with the others who were ahead and smiled at the blushes "What happened?" G-Mikan asked even though she knew.
"L-Lala used an invention on Rito to change him into a girl" It felt weird to say his own name in third person.
"Well that might be a bit of a problem." G-Mikan said
"How?" Riko asked
"Well you won't be able to move properly while lugging them around." G-Mikan pointed at Riko's chest making her blush
"Q-quiet!" she said.
"Why are you two blushing?" Mikan asked
Rito blushed even harder if it was possible while Riko hid behind her hands. Then a low growl was heard from the trees. A small pack of wolves stalked out and looked at the group as if sizing up their prey. Riko snapped out of her daze and pulled out her sword from her back, pointing it at the wolves who snarled.
G-Mikan started off this time by summoning ropes to tie up the wolves as Riko cut them down. Her movements were slower and less coordinated since she was still getting used to the girl body. After the wolves had been brutally cut into pieces and changed into weird crystal thingies the group looked up the path towards their destination. It seemed to be a big tree that had a door on it.
"What is that?" Lala asked
"The castle of a villain by the name of Spolaco." Riko said
Rito chuckled nervously. "Sounds like Lacospo." He said
"This person has armies and his real goal is probably to date as many girls as possible." G-Mikan said "Though he is skilled in using a bow."
"I think we should head on then." Rito said "Or he might get his army all over us."
"That would not be fun." Riko said.
They headed off and Rito noticed something. He was surrounded by girls. Again. He sighed while blushing and Riko looked over. She couldn't help but think how she looked like as a boy and she blushed as she realised that she thought of him as 'cute' or 'hot'. This was way out of character. Then Lala started to laugh slightly and they turned to look at her.
"I just realised that I didn't have the normal change-kun with me!" she said and the older twins filled with dread "this one is the permanent one that changes people's thoughts as well!"
Riko blinked. She processed the information for a bit. Then she shook her head. "No." she said "No you are not saying that."
"Eh? Why not?" Lala asked
"I-I'm a g-g-g-girl!" she shouted
"Something wrong with that?" the two Mikans asked, growling.
"N-no it's just a surprise." She said backing up slightly. "But do I have to live like this forever?"
"Not forever!" Lala said, giving Riko hope "Just until you die!" she said, smashing it again.
Riko fell to the ground in sobs saying things like 'why me?'
Rito felt sorry for her and knelt down beside her. "Don't worry about it. At least you haven't had a space assassin on you for a year."
Riko stopped sobbing and looked at him. "Seriously?" she asked
Rito blushed "Y-yes."
The girl felt stupid for crying. She had to live in a different body for her life but this person had an assassin targeting him for a year and still didn't die! She got up and shook the tears out of her eyes before smiling at Rito. "Thankyou for helping me feel better!" she said and the group forged on.
Mikan leaned over to G-Mikan. "They like each other already."
G-Mikan nodded, leaning over to talk closer to the other Mikan. "Rito and Riko are almost the same person so they would get along quite well."
"I wonder how long it will take Rito to notice this time."
"This happened before?"
"With Lala." Mikan looked at the pink haired girl "Rito liked her months and months before he realised it."
After a short time they made it to the tree and looked at the giant doors. They pushed them open and a voice boomed from above. "WELCOME." It echoed "THIS IS MY LAIR AND TO HAVE GOTTEN IN YOU MUST HAVE WORKED HARD. FIGHT ME AND IF YOU WIN THE QUEST IS OVER. IF NOT YOUR NEW FRIEND WILL BE MINE…" Everyone had the feeling he meant Lala.
"I think that's Spolaco." Rito said.
"Likely." Riko seconded. Then some wolves and eagles appeared and started to circle the group.
The game girls prepared for trouble and with the eagles made it double. The wolves leapt and Riko slashed them into pieces to protect her friends from devastation. G-Mikan used a charm spell to hypnotise the eagles into fighting for them to unite all people in that nation. Riko slashed through the hordes to denounce the evils of minions and slavery. G-Mikan used a magic hand to grab one and extend its height to the stars above. Riko, G-Mikan. Riko slashed though at the speed of light. G-Mikan made them surrender now so they didn't have to fight.
"IMPRESSIVE." Spolaco's voice boomed "HOWEVER, NOT IMPRESSIVE ENOUGH." And arrow whizzed through the air and a small thud sound run out. They turned to see where the arrow had landed to see it was in G-Mikan. The shock engulfed he entire group. Mikan felt like he just seen a sibling die while Rito and Riko looked about ready to kill somebody. It was so sudden that even I thought it might be stupid and got angry. "NOW YOU SEE MY POWER. FEAR ME!" the two older orange haired boys were still next to the body, grieving while Mikan stood to the side in shock and fear but the one true emotion was anger. That all seemed to be pouring out of Lala. Killing a blood thirsty creature was something but a walking talking thing with a conscious.
"YOU STUPID IDIOT!" Lala yelled and the entre place shook. Some patches were destroyed and G-Mikan watched in awe as she drew her terminal breath. Aaaaaaand she's gone.
...
Wow that ending was too weird to be a TLR ending. I'm thinking of ending this and possibly making a sequel without my OCs and shortening the chapters a little because 1 they take too long to write and 2 if they're too long then it feels unnatural. At any rate: Hope you enjoyed!
